Never heard of them, there are so many firms like this out there though. Just Googled them, why are we being sponsered by a Scottish firm ? IT First Associates - Home

why would a company called IT first have a logo with "ITS"? has someone hacked the seagulls site or have they cocked up the name?

Without sounding mercenary, how much is the deal worth and will Fat Boy's association with the club continue? Skint have been a brilliant club sponsor and I think they will be a very hard act to follow

That rather sounds to me like they took over the outsourcing arm of GE Capital who were fairly large and indeed based in Burgess Hill, them I do know having worked for them quite a lot a few years ago. Anyway according to their web site they're based in Scotland and bearing in mind there's a few Scottish teams that could do with sponsoring that's why I'm a bit surprised. I'm not complaining though !
SULLY COULDNT SHOOT

Waiting rather a long time to hear something we pretty much already knew. How long ago was it when we first saw that logo?

Club Press Release
The club are delighted to announce that IT specialists IT First will be the new club main shirt sponsor for the coming season.
The deal was agreed between chairman Dick Knight and IT First CEO Paul Goldsmith in early May - but has been kept under wraps while the Sussex-based firm re-branded the company in light of the new sponsorship deal.
Knight said, "Firstly, I would like to thank Paul, his fellow directors Mark Fiettkau and Simon Gregg, and everyone at IT First for taking on this prestigious role with the club. In their previous guise as Technical Response, IT First were already a very valued supporter on the commercial side, as well being personal fans.
"Over the past five years they have been real friends of the Albion, particularly in backing our community learning programmes and the Seagulls Club.
"Paul and I have worked together closely on the re-branding exercise, and just as Skint embraced the shirt sponsorship, so too has IT First and they are worthy successors. I believe a club shirt has never before been used to launch a company re-brand, so it's apt that 'first' is the new logo."
Goldsmith added, "As an Albion fan, I am fulfilling a dream: it has been one of my biggest ambitions to one day have the company on the shirt of the club I have supported all my life. It is with great pride that we take on this sponsorship and I am now looking forward to the coming season."
The image shown is of Albion's new third kit. The new home kit will be unveiled at Albion's first home friendly of 2008, Gary Hart's testimonial match against Charlton Athletic on Saturday 26th July, and the new away kit at the match with Ipswich Town on Tuesday 29th July.
